Team India to play their upcoming three ODI series against West Indies, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad starting from February 6 to 11 with no audiences, confirmed the Gujarat Cricket Association (GAC), followed by a T20I series at Eden Gardens, Kolkata from February 16.

The official handle of Gujarat Cricket Association (GAC) tweeted, “All matches will be played behind closed doors in view of the prevailing situation.”

“We are all set to host the West Indies Tour of India ODI series 2022. The 1st ODI on February 6 will be a very special and historic match as India will play their 1000th ODI. Indian team will be the first cricket team in the world. To achieve the feat,” the tweet added.

 

 

Earlier, the West Bengal government had approved 75 per cent audience attendance for the upcoming three-match T20I series between India and West Indies.

“We are thankful to the honourable Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, chief secretary and Government of West Bengal for announcing the resumption of sporting activities as well as for allowing 75 per cent of the capacity of spectators back to the stadium,” CAB president Avishek Dalmiya said in a statement.

“We feel that it will give a fresh lease of life to the sportspersons of the state. After the New Zealand T20I last year, this time too, CAB is confident that it will be able to successfully host the three T20Is against the West Indies in a similar manner,” he further added.
